L'Ordre De Toasts
Brasserie Artisanale Lagabière - Broue Pub

 

Draft: Poured a clear brown color ale with a nice off-white foamy head. Aroma of light smoky flavours with caramelized malt is very enticing. Taste is also a nice mix of smoky flavours with some caramelized malt notes with light smoky undertones and light residual sugar notes are also noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation. Easy drinking smoked beer.

It pours a clearish dark brown with hints of ruby that is dark enough to confuse you as to how opaque it actually is. It sports a 2+ finger cap of eggshell foam that is compact and also slowly compacts to a few islands of warm whipped cream and a film with majestic streaks of lacing. The aroma is toasty, lightly nutty malts with some sweetness as well. The flavor is less sweet with more of the brown flavors coming through from the malt with a dash of earthy hop bitterness at the finish. It is fairly fluffy from the carbonation in the mouthfeel department and thin enough and light enough to be pretty drinkable. All in all this was a tasty beer in many ways. I could do with the malt flavors being a little richer and layered (if that makes sense) but this was definitely an enjoyable, well-made take on the style. I'll pick this one up if I run into it again.

A lovely brown ale full of toasty maltness. Coats your tongue with silky smooth cereal. Goes down easy and asks you to open another one. Some biterness and complexity. Well worth a try.

 

 

 

 

Nutty flavor, charcoal, toasted bread, oats, bit of earth hops. Rather opaque though some glimpses can be seen through the sunlight. Malt is bigger on this one. Huge notes of toasted malt in taste & aroma. Creamy head leaves a nice patchwork of lacing. Hints of roasted nuts and dry fruits. This will convert those that don't dig brown ales.
